I’m putting all these together because they’re all from the same special team up issue. I literally loved this issue though, I didn’t realize how much I missed Dick and Roy interacting with each other after DC made Roy and Jason best friends. Very refreshing to see Dick refer to Roy as “one of his best friends in the world” :( I miss them
ALSO DAMIAN IS SO CUTE 😭 why did they let Damian age but not Tim they should have reversed it and kept Damian as a child forever and let Tim mature (/mostly joking)

The relationship between Batman and the Titans in a nutshell:
Bruce: I raised and trained a good son.
The Titans: You fucked up a perfectly good Dick Grayson, look at him, he's got issues.
It makes me happy how ride or die they are for Dick which in return means they just don't like how Bruce treats him.

whenever dick is reflecting on his relationship w/ kory and he's like "she taught me to be emotionally open after me repressing my emotions so much with batman" I always feel like adding "And in return, I ignored her, condescended her, treated her like she needed to be restrained and there was something wrong with her and her culture and bitched at her to change but didn't actually end the relationship in any healthy manner"

Thinking about a time early on well Cass is still struggling to learn how to speak, where maybe she understands most of what people say to her, but she still can't make her voice form the words the way it should, and someone snaps at her about it. Maybe Barbara is frustrated with how long it's taking, or she can see the disappointment in Bruce's expression, or Tim makes a misguided joke. And she doesn't say anything, both because she can't and because she doesn't know what to say even if she could, she just retreats to her room.
Dick is the one to find her. He knocks before he enters, but he doesn't wait for an answer. He asks if it's alright for him to come in, but only after the door is already opened so she can simply nod. He sits on the bed with her, and for a long moment he doesn't say anything. When he does it's softer than Cass has ever heard from him. Maybe from anyone. "You know, Bruce and Babs, they want what's best for you, and to them that obviously means you need to learn how to speak so you can interact with people. But speaking isn't the only way to talk."
Cass frowns, but that just makes Dick smile a little. "I had a friend once who couldn't speak. His vocal cords had been cut when he was a kid, so he used sign langue to communicate."
And when Cass doesn't protest Dick goes on. He tells her about Joe, about the boy who was raised by assassins but had the heart of an artist. Who seemed to know what everyone around him was feeling and exactly how to help without having to be told. How even though the entire team learned sign langue so he could talk to them, most of the time Joe preferred to just sit and listen anyway, how he'd only interject when he had something important to say. It wasn't because he was mute, it was just the way Joe was, and that was okay. They enjoyed just having him there with them, a friendly presence and a kind smile. He stops just short of telling her how Joey died.
Dick signs every word he says as he talks, and Cass watches. Not just the signs, but Dick as well, the way he talks about his friend. The small smile despite the sadness in his eyes. Even the signs themselves seem to be caring, they're precise, but not automatic. Dick is thinking about every single one, remembering Joey with each movement.
When he's done Cass smiles in return and nods, accepting the unspoken offer.
Sign langue is still hard, it's still learning a new langue and her brain isn't prepared for that, but at least her hands don't fight her the way her mouth does. She can mimic the signs perfectly, it's just about remembering them and what they mean. Luckily Dick is always more than happy to show her.
